Duke's Head Hotel

There can be few more imposing hotels in the east of England than the Dukes Head. Its striking powder-blue façade, a study in Georgian elegance, is as much a part of King’s Lynn’s Tuesday Market Place as the stalls that have traded here for generations.

 

It’s the quintessential market town hotel – a handsome hostelry with history at every turn, restored and restyled for the discerning twenty-first century traveller.

 

Stay here and you’ll join quite a guest list. Political icons; princesses; the who’s who of King’s Lynn’s past – the Dukes Head has played host to them all.

Today, period charm meets contemporary chic, spacious rooms envelope you in comfort, and the very best local produce is served – in an acclaimed restaurant and a buzzing new bar.

 

Each of the 80 rooms at our King’s Lynn hotel are not only spacious and relaxing, but also fully equipped, with a comfortable bed, free WiFi, desk area and everything else you need for a relaxing and revitalising stay.
